Iridescent
Soaked in mud
Born of darkness
Raised to steer
No sense of self
No memory
A trace of blood enlightening me
An unnatural will to live
A trace of blood scarred in too deep
Guidance towards the bleak
Shattered reflex
Part of me
My ambivalent
Inherited disease
A cold fingered
Remedy
Heavy eyelids
Open skies
For the birds are restless
Enslaved to roam
Blue lights
Bring me home
A trace of blood enlightening me
Wearing out my shadow's skin
A trace of blood running too deep
Brushed away
It's a territorial nakedness
With piercing roots from the past
Locked in discontinuity
Free to everlast
I accept your violence
Down to the best of my intents
Lost in your solutions
Find us safer inside
I resemble the emptiness
Cursed upon your every attempt
Harvesting your delusions
Find us safe from the light
Safe from home
Closure heals the devised hearts of wire
Damnation assured the fall of another sun, black as the day I faltered from grace
Drowning in the thorns of life's embrace
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
The excellent French metal band Epectase return with another brain-bender, offering an almost proggy take on black metal fury. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2022
I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer
